Back to p6
Go to p8
Bird of fire and hate

I am Phoenix
The bird of fire
I was meant to live
In pain and hate

I never die
Even though I burn.
I am eternal,
as I was meant to fly.

To roar above.
All that binds,
all that weakens,
all that’s human

I was taught to hate,
trained to kill,
expected to hurt
never to care.

I learned to be hard.
I suffered to be strong.
I was taught with pain.
I evolved trough suffering.

But no lesson hurt so much,
than the lesson to be loved.
